I was with you until your used to word 'masquerading'. Nothing about Freedom House is a masquerade. If you don't share sources, then don't please write such things.

[edit] Can't reply below: Freedom House is NOT the State Department. They're a funder, but not the only one. So your description still in incorrect or requires sourcing.

They're masquerading in the sense that a newspaper will write 'According to NGO Freedom House...' rather than 'According to the US State Department'.

They're not masquerading in the sense that they try to hide where the money comes from, but to the majority that read their materials, this won't be apparent.

If they are a government organization then the domain needs to be .gov.

.org gives the perception of NGO.
